TOURNAMENT INFORMATION
Information concerning tee times, pre-registration, starting times,
tournament location, etc. will be posted on the website no later than 6 days
prior to the date of the tournament.
Tee box assignments will be listed
on your scorecard that you receive when you sign in at the course.
For the enjoyment of all, an
appropriate pace of play must be maintained. The
Golf Galaxy
Tour™ - Honolulu utilizes a
Pace of Play Time Card System. It is expected that all groups will remain
within 10 minutes of the group in front of them. It is our goal to have groups
finish the round in less than 4.5 hours (an average of 15 minutes per hole).
Groups that arrive on the tee more than 10 minutes behind the prior group will
be issued a warning. Group time on the tee will be checked again in 2 holes.
Upon second infraction of being more than 10 minutes behind, the group in
violation will be required to skip that hole and be assessed a par +2 score for
that hole or (if course volume permits) allowed to return after hole 18 to play
that hole at no penalty.
Players are required to switch
scorecards with the other team on the first tee. Keep on your score card scores
for "player 1", "player 2", and "team score". Also keep the "other team" score.
All players must have completed a
tournament entry application.
White stakes are out of bounds.
You must replay your ball from where the stroke was taken. Please play a
provisional if you think it may be OB.
For etiquette purposes, do not
talk or move while another player is addressing their ball or swinging.
You may file a complaint against
another player after the round at the registration table. If (3) complaints are
filed against any one player, that player will not be allowed to participate in
future events.
Smoking is discouraged but if you
do smoke, please be courteous and do not expose fellow players to the secondary
smoke.
All issues regarding rules violations will be presented to the
Golf Galaxy
Tour™ - Honolulu Board of
Directors for a ruling.
